Shmups

you're just jealous your brainu can't keep track of 5000 projectiles at once

its looks legitimately stupid when they overlap with the ship. companies should have some taste and restraint when they fuck with the hitbox like that. a little bit it okay but at that point there is almost no reason to even have a sprite.

Mecha Ritz: Steel Rondo is cheap & on sale atm, one of my favourites. Bullet hell shmup that's easy to 1cc since you're showered with resources, but when you play for score the rank skyrockets and it gets really intense.

Also I got Caladrius Blaze on this steam sale, it's like raiden except with girls portraits on the side, and they take clothing damage when they get hit.

Also yeah Blue Revolver, Zero Ranger and Hellsinker are great too

Just think of it as an illusion of depth :^)
either way that's one of the hardest bosses in shooter history so it's not like the game looks like that all the time.

>Caladrius Blaze
Too many buttons. I got confused.

I heard they got Momobako to voice a character in Blue Revolver which is pretty cool. Havent played enough to have an opinion on the actual game though.

I really like Touhou WBAWC even though it is on the easier side. The rush you get when you enter the Roaring Mode combined with the great soundtrack and fun stages and bosses is a really great feeling. The final boss in particular is very fun.

i understand that its supposed to be "extreme" but i think games like this actively hurt the shmup scene by making the genre look stupid and illogical and also give it an illusion of difficulty that puts off even MORE people from trying the game. When you realize how many of these game have smaller hitboxes than what you would suspect, the games are much easier than they look. But the problem is you need to play the games first to understand that. So all of these shmup games being filled with bullets that are way less dangerous than they look just keeps people from playing the games because they look unreasonably hard to an untrained eye. overall i think its a stupid idea that causes problems.

A little bit is okay but developers never have any restraint and go full retard with it. i say all of this as someone that wishes shmup games were more popular.

My favorite shmups
>Life Force
>Gradius V
>Legendary Wings
>Chicken Invaded 3
>Jet n Gun

My favorites are Game Tengoku, Blue Revolver and Rayforce. Honorable mentions to Natsuki Chronicles and DariusBurst CS.
I don't know if it's more Shmup or rhythm but Space Invaders Extreme is also great.
>Recommending Mecha Ritz and Blue Revolver
Excellent taste, both very underappreciated games.

play mars matrix.

What are shmupchads thoughts on Touhou?

Touhou will be worth talking about if it ever gets a good game.

Thoughts on Devil Engine? I saw it on steam, it has a really cool style, but I'm a bit unsure if it's actually good or not, it only has mostly positive reviews.
Have you played it anons?

None of the developers got paid for making it.
It's more ethical to just download it.
The publisher is shady as fuck, unless something recently changed.

>Is that genre ADHD kids are playing?
ADHD can't concentrate, these games take full concentration

How is this one?

Mushihime Futari and DDP Saidaioujou on Steam when?

Game refuses to run on my pc, and can't figure out why.

Just get Xenia

Love it. But I admit that also has to do with the fact that I'm way too shit to play Dodonpachi or Daioujou.

It's weird too because I feel like SDOJ would sell alright since it can't even be emulated, at least last I checked.

It's fun, looks great, and sounds great but I can't ever 1cc it and it makes me feel like shit

What are some essential shmups I should look into emulating? I just got into emulation.

Friendly reminder that Crimzon Clover is about $2 every steam sale

SDOJ can be emulated, xenia canary february 13th build works for me.
the music sometimes doesn't loop but overall its okay

>can't even be emulated
it can, just they refuse to do it because it's cave's most profitable game and still in lots of arcades

and I respect that

What's the best emulator for shmups now? I used to use some random build of MAME but I'm sure things have gotten better today...

Right?

Should I play these games with controller or KB?
